“Sarah did a wonderful job caring for Bart and Poppy for nearly two weeks in our home. She communicated and sent pictures regularly and also managed our plants. We feel confident and trust that she would demonstrate the same level of professionalism with your pets and home. We plan to use Sarah again and give her a very high recommendation. Thank you Sarah!”

“Scott was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend him for you dog sitting needs. He took Hugo on multiple long walks and hung out with him during the day. He also brought him to Brewhound for some play time. We loved all the pictures, videos and tracked walks as well. We will definitely be using him again in the future. We felt at ease knowing our pup was being cared for by Scott.”


“Diana house sat our two giant barky German shepherds for a long weekend for us and our neighbors said they could not tell we were not home -- very high praise indeed. Good communication and very very considerate of the dogs' typical schedule and habits. Highly recommend her and already booked her for a future date!”


“We learned of Hannah through a neighbor who used her and was so pleased they are using her again. I was a little worried as i have never used a service like this before but she eased my mind. She was great, she sent pictures & our house was the same as when we left, our dogs were well taken care of and she even did extras like collecting our mail ect.. We have already booked another sitting and definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”



“Cam stayed at our home with our two dogs for two weeks, while my husband and I traveled out of the country.

We are so thankful our dogs were in such great hands with him during our big trip. We would recommend Cam to anyone and we look forward to working with him again!”

“Dulce did a great job with our 5 month old puppy! She kept us updated and gave our puppy lots of snuggles and love. She was a great communicator and was very knowledgeable. She also went above and beyond in noticing our cat was chewing on some plastic and let us know as well as hid the plastic from her, even though we hired her to only care for our pup. Violet loved her and can’t wait to hang out with her again!”

“Amy was amazing!!! We were traveling internationally for 10 days and leaving our two fur babies. We couldn’t have found anyone more perfect for taking care of them and our house while we were gone. She kept in constant communication and every picture and video showed how much the dogs loved her and how happy they were while we were away. She kept the house immaculate and did nice touches for our return - including a hand written note with pictures of the babies! Will definitely reach out to have her stay again!!!”
